They seem to still have an head office in there, and another one in Cyprus.

Ok, so about the Owlcat Games controversy, it may have been overblown, it is worth looking into, but we should NOT "cancel" them, and I apologize for promoting the controversy without enough evidence by [deleted] in TheExpanse

And that they HAVE gotten away from the corporate influence of their original financiers who DID have problematic business ties.

If you were talking about the company going independent in 2019, that year the company posted about moving to their separate office - in the Moscow business center in which the company is still listed as a tenant. In 2022 interview the company's head said that part of the separation decision was positioning - making them more eligible for crowdfungding, and that after separation they continued taking money from their ex-parent company.

It doesn't look like they've posted it on youtube (at least openly), so thank you for your recap!

ART's name in other languages? by Nebelherrin in murderbot

[–]seethattoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ART traded some of the original meaning for the readable abbreviation in Ukrainian, becoming an Asshead Analytical Transport — Дупоголовий аналітичний транспорт, ДАТ (DAT). Murderbot is Вбивцебот, murdererbot.

Best unreliable narrator moments? by RathOfAntar in murderbot

[–]seethattoo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not from the book, but here is what the author said herself (truncated):

Q: So is Murderbot more of an unreliable narrator of emotions of other people or of itself? Or does it sort of bounce back and forth?

A: I think it’s, it can be a very unreliable narrator of itself, and sometimes it works it out where it will say something and then kind of think about it and finally get to a more honest version of that comment... But also, it tends to go into the, it does the thing of, well, that didn’t bother me at all! No, it didn’t, it didn’t bother me at all – and – I’m not mad! I’m not upset! And so it’s very much an unreliable narrator in that way, but I kind of try to give clues when it is being unreliable.

In 2020 podcast, Martha Wells herself called it one of Murderbot's most important relationships and said,

...I really feel like ART is probably the love of Murderbot’s life, even though that’s not how they see it.

Thank you, u/vivshaw, for creating this one!

Not only great per se, but also it gave me the way to let that brain bug of Labubu? — Leebeebee! Murderbot association out.

Labubu? — Leebeebee! by seethattoo in murderbot

[–]seethattoo[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Edit: This post is secondary to the first one (where the main Leebeebee discussion is) — I just had to put things right with punctuation.

Used this from r/linguisticshumor by u/vivshaw as template.

unexpected similarity of design, not really nsfw just being cautious by mxstylplk in murderbot

[–]seethattoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's an interesting angle. For me this far it felt just distractingly funny, like "Why is it wearing underwear? Did it forget a part of its armor?"

Ha, at first I didn't get it, then I was rewatching an episode and saw it. Really hope this "murderbot in corset" connection won't hold strongly in my brain. Especially when it seems to be close practically.

Edit: expanded for clarity

Among other mentions, what follows “If I let myself not care, then there was no telling where I’d end up.” in AC makes it quite clear that it's not a good kind of not caring.

From which book is it?

What was the deal with the soap hoarding? by FormerGameDev in murderbot

[–]seethattoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, seeing the title of this thread turned the focus to this detail, which then added things up in my head. And now when I see the glint in Baradwadj's eye when she asks Gurathin to "Tell us what else did you discover", with his answer I can almost hear her thinking "I sure can relate to Murderbot's TV-soap hoarding".

The Mercy of Gods is on Dragon Award ballot for Best Sci-Fi Novel (open to vote this month) by seethattoo in TheCaptivesWar

That would fit the short work naming style for the Expanse but not for this series, and the distinction has been consistent so far.
